Stewed beef pho from Turtle Tower for lunch.  It's Hanoi-style pho, so they use the flat egg noodles instead of the round kind.  All right.  Average.  Cioppino from Nettie's Crab Shack for dinner.  That was pretty good.  The piece of toast has shelled crab on it, and there was crawfish in the cioppino.  The gumbo at Nettie's (not pictured) was excellent.

Flax spaghetti with a mozzarella and red bell pepper white sauce for lunch.  Ribs for dinner.  They look all right, but they were actually very undercooked, which is inexcusable.  I have a thermometer!  I was laid low by hubris.  I thought, It looks fine. I know what I'm doing.  When, in fact, I clearly did not.  It's the long end of a rack of spare- (as opposed to my more usual baby back-) ribs, so I should have braised it longer.  Let's go three hours next time.

Curry noodles for lunch (home-made egg noodles, 60% water+egg, pinch of salt; turned out pretty well).  Bacon cheeseburger from Fish and Farm (7x7's best burger in SF) for dinner.  I don't know about best, but it was very good.

Curry lamb chow fun for lunch.  Meh.  The lamb didn't really work well with the chow fun.  It might be too strong by itself.  A bison/salmon burger for dinner (ground bison mixed together with salmon.)  This wasn't very good, either.  I was hoping the oiliness of the salmon would counter the leanness of the bison to create one, delicious whole.  But it wasn't to be.  Dinner II at Toyose in the Sunset.  That was pretty good.  It's got a very typical late night/young person's hang out place.

Fried chicken for lunch.  Look!  It's not burnt.  Hooray for instant-read thermometers, although in this case 'instant' is like 15-20 seconds.  That's fine when I'm measuring the internal temperature of meat, but not so good when I'm measuring the temperature of hot oil.  Frankly, I don't want to hold my hand over the pan that long.  Anyhow the chicken turned out all right.

Korean food for dinner.  It was okay.  The spicy cold noodles were great, and I liked the seafood onion pancake a lot.  The ssam was so-so.  I guess I just don't know how to do it right.

Chicken and rice for lunch.  I just cooked it in the cast iron grill pan, but I still managed to burn it.  Boo!  Creamy shrimp pizza for dinner.  That was excellent.  I made the dough, but not the rest of the pizza.  No pictures of food today.
